Happy Valentine's Day

I had a great time earlier this month creating Valentine's Day cards. I decided it was time to look at the materials in the BPC Cooking Up Cards self-paced class that has been sitting in my account for several months. This class has four card "recipes" with examples of each from four different "chefs".

I used Kim Kesti's Signature Card "recipe" to create these first three cards. I have a box of blank cards, so I started with those and used a variety of paper scraps, heart brads, a CTMH sentiment stamp, and some very old stickers to finish them.

I pulled a tag and some die cut hearts (that I received in a swap over 3 years ago) from my stash for this next card. I even embellished the inside of the card & the envelope. So excited to be using up some old stash.

Robbie and I have never really had a traditional Valentine's Day celebration (I'm hoping to create a layout about that soon!) and today was no exception as Robbie had surgery to remove his gall bladder! (He is doing well; we're home already and he is resting.)

Did you do something special for Valentine's Day this year or do you have a yearly tradition to commerate this day each February?

Lifting healing prayers for Robbie. The Chosen One and I delivered goodies to our college homegrowns on Saturday and I sent goodies into work with him (which he admitted to hitting heavily on the drive to work)Our evening was very low key bec I am under the weather.
